side distance too wide

[leo2kwan]

Hi,

I feel that the distance between the right and left sides of this theme with the screen is too wide. Look at the picture here = http://www.imagebam.com/image/520235282943112

Can I reduce it? That will make more space for my site content. How I can do that ? Please help me.

Regards,

Leon

Hello Leon,

For CSS changes, it’s a good idea to use a tool like firebug or Google Chrome’s built-in developer tools to locate them and then put the edits either in your child theme or in the “Custom CSS” option on your theme options page.

For example:

#container {
   width: 960px;
}

Also, here’s a helpful tutorial on how to use Firebug – http://vimeo.com/20917974. The only thing I’d suggest not doing is actually making edits to the theme’s CSS files, as it shows at the end of that video. However, the video serves as a good introduction to Firebug and how it can be used to find what CSS is effecting certain areas of your site without ever digging around in any files.
